Day 1...maybe
It's Saturday, so I knew I had a ton of time today to focus on trying out a feast. I'm not saying this is "Day 1 of X" because I don't want to put that much pressure on myself.
But, this week I finally got all of my essentials-- juicer, skin brush, enema kit, MSM powder, etc. So, this morning, I'm giving it a try, step-by-step as it is outlined on juicefeasting.com.
My first reaction is astonishment-- a whole lot of solid food went into one tiny (8-10 oz) glass... I almost feel guilty about it...does everyone else toss out your pulp?
On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate my first green juice as a 7. It is spinach/celery/2 apples/1 lemon.
I used a whole lemon, and I'm not digging the bitterness the peel adds. Maybe it is an acquired taste? I think the lemon juice itself tastes fab. Just leaves a bitter aftertaste.

Brentney - Last Saturday I started my Day 1 of X. I am totally with you on not putting the pressure on. I just focus on making sure I have a quart of juice ready for my next meal and when I'm drawn back to solid food, I say, "I'll just have this quart of juice and then wait a half hour." This is taken me to Day 8 of X.
Yes, I throw away the pulp. I've actually experimented over the years with using the pulp to make other things without much luckl, except for what's left over from making nut milk, which is not part of a juice feast!
And good luck to you for getting through your first day! - Joy

I wouldn't worry about it. Headaches come, headaches go, we're all vulnerable.

Damn. Four days ago, I upped my dose from a few teaspoons each WEEK of MSM powder to a couple of tablespoons each DAY. Monday I noticed I was a quite irritable at work, impatient, and in a general daze. Yesterday, I felt the same way at work and t...

I was wondering... if the whole reality is now changed... from before Kirk launched...
Would that mean that the next series they will bring out is the original Kirk, but in this altered reality...?
Were the Hobbits raw vegan? Does the Death Star look like a honeydew melon to you? Have you ever played Halo or WoW while juice feasting? Would Superman be even stronger if he got monthly colonics? Discuss all these questions and more right here.
This just bumped up to one of my all time fav vids! I guess you where somewhat of a mixture of raw janeway, but with the seven of nine outfit... :-)
